Milwaukee is making waves in the professional tool market with their latest innovation, the M18 Brushless Band Saw. This new addition not only outperforms its predecessor, the brushed M18 Band Saw (2629), but also surpasses the competition in terms of cutting speed and cut capacity among compact band saws.
Designed for Professionals
Milwaukee has crafted this band saw with professional end – users in mind. It comes in three different options:
Kit (2829 – 22): This package likely includes the band saw along with essential accessories, providing a comprehensive solution for professionals right out of the box.
Bare Tool (2829 – 20): For those who already have a set of compatible batteries and chargers, the bare tool option offers flexibility and cost – effectiveness.
Dual – Trigger Option (2829S – 22): The dual – trigger design adds an extra layer of safety and control, making it a great choice for demanding applications.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is a top priority for Milwaukee, and this band saw is equipped with several advanced safety features:
Jobsite Armor Technology: The tool is protected by composite materials and crush zone barriers. These features absorb impacts from drops and debris, ensuring the saw can withstand the rigors of a job site.
REDLINK PLUS Intelligence: This system helps protect the tool from overload. By monitoring the power draw and other parameters, it can prevent damage to the saw and ensure consistent performance.
Fail – Safe Dual Trigger Option: The dual – trigger design adds an extra level of safety. It requires both triggers to be activated for the saw to operate, reducing the risk of accidental starts.
Productivity – Boosting Features
Milwaukee has also focused on increasing overall productivity with several innovative features:
Variable Speed Trigger: This allows users to adjust the cutting speed according to the material and application, providing more control and precision.
Tool – Free Locking Adjustable Shoe: The shoe can be easily adjusted to different angles and heights without the need for tools. This flexibility allows for more precise cuts and better adaptation to different workpieces.
LED Work Light: The built – in LED work light illuminates the cutting area, improving visibility and reducing the risk of errors.
Innovative Pipe Reamer Attachment
One of the standout features of the M18 Compact Band Saw is the seamlessly integrated Pipe Reamer Attachment. This attachment allows users to easily cut and ream pipes with just a flick of the wrist. After making the cut, simply tilt the saw to ream the edge. This eliminates the need for a grinder or file, saving time and effort.
Blade Covers
The blade covers, similar to those on its predecessor, offer several benefits:
Protection: They protect the blade from damage, extending its lifespan.
Minimized Exposure: Reducing the exposure of the blade reduces the risk of accidents.
Tool – Free Installation and Removal: This feature increases efficiency, as users can quickly change blades without the need for tools.
